Thread: Oil shooting from dipstick

When i go mashing, oil sprays out from the dipstick.. ??

Does the Aviner have a special dip stick? because all of them are too big and they dont seal

Sounds like you're pressurizing the crankcase. What's the black box connected to the VC?

Oil catch can

does the oil catch can setup have a breather type setup or no? if not you need to setup a oil catch can with a breather

oil catch can outputs back to the intake.. that meter'ed air so u cant just vent it

check your PCV valve

to test the pcv valve, remove it, and shake it, if you hear the ball moving around its good, if you dont its clogged, take some carb cleaner to it if its clogged that should do the trick

Newer SR's have a one way valve that makes no noise when shaking it. You have to blow into it and make sure it works right. But it sounds like you are pressurizing the crankcase with boost.

^ thats the only thing it can be, i remember doing a pressure test and i had the vc hose plugged up and i was leaking thru the dip stick

I like what you did with the Catch Can, but you really really limited the amount of airflow that can squeeze into that small pipe. NA you it should work fine, but on boost you need something thicker.

For my PCV system I even the same thickness of tubing for the catch can.




You just have too much pressure under boost. Look at these two posts from Coheed, I think they will explain a lot
